What happens once I have subdivision consent?

Your subdivision consent will include a number of conditions, such as requirements to:

lay water, wastewater and stormwater pipes

seal new driveways

install power, gas and phone connections.

Once physical work like this has been completed, we’ll approve the subdivision via:

‘section 223’ (of the Resource Management Act) certification, which confirms that your survey plan matches what was granted in your resource consent. You need to apply for section 223 certification within five years of our initial consent approval

section 224(c) certification, which confirms that you’ve met all the conditions of your consent or will meet them later. You must apply for this certification, which enables Land Information New Zealand to issue new titles, within three years of your section 223 approval.
